No assessment will be imposed on any parcel that exceeds the reasonable cost of the <br /> proportional special benefits conferred upon that parcel. Only special benefits are assessable <br /> and these benefits must be separated from any general benefits. A general benefit is defined as <br /> a benefit to properties in the surrounding community or a benefit to the public in general <br /> resulting from improvement, activity or service to be provided by the assessment levied. For <br /> example, CBD property owners will derive benefit from sidewalk cleaning and security services, <br /> however the general public will also benefit from the delivery of these special benefit services. <br /> The special benefits funded by this new Downtown San Leandro CBD will be over and above <br /> existing City of San Leandro baseline service levels in the commercially zoned parcels and will <br /> serve to increase tenancies, increase commerce, increase economic viability and fund a system <br /> of cleanliness and beautification over and above current service levels. <br /> All benefits derived from the assessment outlined in the Management District Plan fund only <br /> services directly and specifically benefiting the property owners in the CBD. These special <br /> benefits will include maintenance and security, increased commerce and all the other goals and <br /> objectives of the Downtown San Leandro CBD's purpose. <br /> Properties are assessed as defined on the County Assessor's most current parcel maps. <br /> The preceding methodology is applied to the database of parcels within the District. The <br /> process for compiling the property database includes the following steps: <br /> • A report was submitted to the City Manager's office using the data obtained from <br /> the Alameda County Tax Assessors office. <br /> • A list of properties to be included within the Downtown San Leandro CBD is provided <br /> in Section 7. <br /> The basis of funding shall be through special benefit assessments levied on real property <br /> throughout the District. The rates of assessment vary by the proportionate amount of special <br /> benefit received by each parcel. A detailed explanation of the special benefit assessment <br /> .rationale is made in the attached Engineer's Report. <br /> The Calculation of Assessment for each parcel in the Downtown San Leandro CBD is as follows: <br /> 24 <br />
